Elegant & Effortless “E” Names Every Baby Will Enjoy

Even if you’re ever-so excellent at making decisions, electing the name you’re going to call your heir can be anything but easy. Especially if you’re looking for a name that begins with “E.” While yes, sure, it’s the most commonly used letter in the English language, “E” names are often anything but expected. Either they’re everywhere (hi, Emilys circa 1984 and Emmas just last year) or they’re ever-elusive and perhaps too excessively eccentric for your tastes? (See: Elvis).

But don’t stress, because we’ve assembled some excellent and endearing “E” names your baby will inhabit effortlessly. Whether you’re looking for something with an edge, or just a bit of elegance, we’ve outlined names (sorted by gender and by era) that have been easily endorsed by parents and tots throughout the ages.
